Our school ethos is defined by our overall intent:

Happy together. Achieving together.

‘Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education,’ (Martin Luther King, Jr)

Our values – the Sutton Six and British Values – are taught and reinforced across all aspects of our provision, enabling us to uphold our ethos.

Happy together

School values underpin and enable our provision for personal development intent: to make positive choices helping ourselves and others.

From Early Years to year 6 staff, working in partnership with families, seek to provide a safe learning culture that will equip pupils emotionally and socially to be positive contributors and lead healthy, happy fulfilled lives.

We ensure pupils inclusively:

• Demonstrate age appropriate positive choices

• Engage in innovative, immersive learning experiences which systematically celebrate, develop and promote good character

‘It takes a whole village to raise a child,’ (African Proverb)

Achieving together

School values also underpin and enable our national curriculum provision for academic development intent: to do our best and be proud of the results.

Working in partnership with families, we seek to provide a safe learning culture that will equip pupils academically to be positive contributors and lead healthy, happy fulfilled lives.

We ensure pupils inclusively:

• Master age appropriate English and maths, enabling full, inclusive curriculum access

• Engage in innovative, immersive learning experiences which systematically build real-world-applicable knowledge and skills

‘Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere,’ (Chinese proverb)
